Today the Museum of Cosmonautics is the only museum in Moscow region that collects, keeps and popularizes material relics that are connected to the history of space exploration.

How does it work, and what is it used for? The tour will offer its guests insight into the operation of jet engines that make rockets fly and much more.
The history of the museum began in the second half of the 20th century when the Monument to Conquerors of Space appeared on the map of Moscow in 1964. The titanium rocket near the VDNH metro station symbolised the quality technological leap of its time.
Which cosmonaut spent the largest number of hours in orbit? Is it true that there was a wedding celebration in space? Who is aboard the International Space Station now? The tour will tell its guests these and other interesting stories and facts about space explorers.
During the tour its guests will learn about flights of the first Moon stations and Apollo 11 as well as other interesting stories from the exploration of Earth's natural satellite.
